Amidst the barbecues and festivities, let us pause and remember the true meaning of Memorial Day – to honor the fallen, respect their families, and uphold the values they fought for. Today, we salute their valor and express our deepest gratitude. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

It is a day dedicated to honoring and remembering the men and women who have died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The origins of Memorial Day can be traced back to the aftermath of the American Civil War, when various communities began holding ceremonies to honor fallen soldiers. Over time, it evolved into a national holiday, observed on the last Monday in May each year. On Memorial Day, people visit cemeteries, attend memorial services, and participate in parades to pay their respects to the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It is a day to reflect on the valor and selflessness of those who fought for the principles and freedoms cherished by the nation.
